Average Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at UBS in January 2013.
Interview Details Completely behavioral and two very comfortable phone conversations. Tell your story well and weave your interest in Wealth Management into it. Ask good questions and be sure to do your research beforehand. If you can have at least one conversation with someone who has worked there or in the WM industry, you will have a much better idea of what you're talking about and whether or not you are genuinely interested.
Interview Question – In response to a question I asked, the interviewer proceeded to tell me about her day to day tasks and how that fits in to the two internship tracks. She then asked me which one I thought would suit me better. I was too worried about what I was going to say next that I failed to completely pay attention to what she was saying. I somewhat stumbled to answer the question. Lesson learned: ALWAYS LISTEN WELL. Answer Question

Funny how the two movies I'm least interested in seeing ("Magic Mike" and "Savages") are the two least "indie" on the list... I usually don't care how a movie was produced/distributed as long as it's good, though.
Big T0 | May 1, 2012 3:12 PM
I don't care. Prometheus is my number 1 most anticipated film of all time. Its a return to the scifi genre from the greatest visionary director alive. Some of his films may be bad but everyone of them are just gorgeous to look at. plus whoever did this artical has listed hollywood production films lol fail.
Huh? | May 1, 2012 1:59 PM
Odd definition of SAVAGES as an indie film? Especially since it's a Universal release that I believe has a budget north of $60 million.
punch drunk fool | May 1, 2012 1:58 PM
I think James Pondolt's Smashed with Aaron Paul should be included... It sounds good! Or I might just be obsessed with breaking bad...

I am excited for Savages, even though I am sure it will get trounced by whatever it is up against its opening weekend. Still if the cast all brings there A games which given the talent caliber is highly possible. I hope this movies is one of the surprises of the summer.
Josh Borton | May 1, 2012 10:16 AM
How in the world does Magic Mike and Savages, two film released by major studios, qualify as "indie" movies?

When you ask for forgiveness, you should really understand what you're saying. Now you can, with ArtScroll's new Schottenstein Edition Interlinear Selichos.
The ancient and hallowed words of Selichos, the penitential prayers, prepare us for those most important of days, Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur. Many of the Selichos are written in a poetic style that makes them very difficult to understand, even for those who read Hebrew well, and certainly for those not so familiar with the language.
The Interlinear Selichos finally lets us understand and appreciate the beauty and importance of the penitential prayers. With the English translation directly beneath the original Hebrew, and ArtScroll's patented arrow system to gently guide your eyes between the two, you can appreciate the beauty of the words and the importance of their message, in both languages. You can truly "read it in Hebrew and understand it in English."

Demand for small business lending continues to increase month over month
PORTSMOUTH, N.H., Feb. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Rather than taking a break after the busy holiday retail season, small businesses continued to expand through January 2014, according to the Small Business Lending Index released by Direct Capital, a leading national small business lender.
Direct Capital's January 2014 index showed a 2.3% increase in demand for small business financing, a clear sign of confidence that economic factors like consumer spending and the housing/construction market will increase throughout the year.
The index also showed a 10% improvement over January 2013, signaling a year-to-year trend of economic gain. Organizations such as the International Monetary Fund have published reports recently predicting economic gains in 2014 based on late 2013 and early 2014 data. PricewaterhouseCoopers Global Economy Watch for January predicts "advanced economies pick(ing) up speed in 2014."
"It wouldn't be alarming or even unusual to see a decline in demand in January because December is traditionally a strong month," said Direct Capital Senior Vice President Stephen Lanker. "So when we see even a modest increase like 2.3 percent in January, it's a good indication for a strong year. Business owners don't borrow unless they see a definite return, so they're one of the best leading economic indicators."
The Direct Capital Small Business Lending Index is based on an algorithm that collects data from more than 200 sources. It documents small business spending patterns and indicates future economic activity. Direct Capital has 20 years of experience in small business financing. Since its inception, the company has lent $2.25 billion to more than 80,000 businesses across over 1,000 different industries. The company was recently named to the Inc. 500/5000 list of the fastest-growing private U.S. businesses.
About Direct CapitalEstablished in 1993, Direct Capital (www.directcapital.com) is a financial technology company that delivers financial solutions for small & medium sized businesses, franchisors, and equipment and technology sellers. The company is headquartered in Portsmouth, N.H. and operates offices in New York, California, and Georgia.

How to become a smart shopperWhen it comes to shopping for the family, how can you ensure you're getting the best without spending the most? Joining Away We Grow host Diane Mizota is Teri Gault, author and CEO of TheGroceryGame.com, with money-saving tips for the grocery store.
Related: Tips to make grocery shopping even healthier
If you're trying to save money at the grocery store, says Gault, the most important thing is to think about being an investor. "You want to buy when it's on sale, before you need it, before you run out of it. Then you never pay full price."
In addition, she notes, everything that you eat and buy runs goes on sale approximately once every 12 weeks. "Stock up thinking in a 12-week-cycle," she says. Her third tip for saving money is deal stacking. "This is where you actually hold a coupon until it meets a sale." By following these tips, Gault says you can cut your grocery bill by about 67 percent.
Related: How to coupon: 4 simple steps
If you think that cutting and filing coupons is too time consuming, Gault has a simple solution. "Keep your inserts intact and write the date on the front…so that way you can just cut out the coupon that you want to use that week."
Shoppers looking to save can stock up on fresh foods, says Gault. "Organic milk lasts twice as long as conventional milk. So the tiny little date on the package is your key. If it's on sale, stock up according to that date and how much you will use."
She adds that you should always buy fresh produce in season to get the best price. However, she adds, "whenever your fresh produce is not in season, your frozen food aisle will have buy-one-get one-free sales."
As for foods that are not fresh, such as boxed or canned, Gault points out that they have a long shelf life that can extend to five years in some cases. "Use a permanent marker to mark the date that's on the package, so that you can use it in time." And you can also stock up on paper goods such as Charmin Basic because those things never go bad.
Finally, Gault notes that warehouse clubs are great for some items but not for others. "The eggs, the butter, and the cheese are almost always the cheapest that you can get, and they're really good quality. And the birthday cakes. Everything else, using the things we've talked about, you can beat the club store prices by shopping smart the other way."

Oz Blog, Day Three
On day two of my blog, I glossed over a tip that actually got a lot of reaction from my co-workers. One of Oz's guests, Chris Kilham, recommended that people eat an onion EVERY day. He says onions help prevent and treat various kinds of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and gastrointestinal disorders. He says we can cook them into our dinner in various ways, but says that the greatest amount of those benefits comes from raw onions.
So, why not just eat an onion every day like an apple? "Because that would be disgusting," you might respond. But, how could I be sure if I didn't try it?
As you will see, the ordeal starts out great, but after about a minute, things go South in a hurry.
My favorite part of the video are the looks from our 10pm Producer Erica, who's sitting over my right shoulder. Her face goes from curiosity to surprise to disgust to horror in about 60 seconds.
So, here's the deal I'm making with everyone. Since Dr. Oz didn't tell us to eat an onion every day (his guest, Chris Kilham did), I'm going to change the daily habit to eating SOME onion every day (likely cooked into something). Is this a cop-out? Maybe, but I'm making the rules, and I was tasting that onion for a day afterwards.
Let's talk about Wednesday's show, which was partly about getting a good night's sleep. I've never really had trouble getting to sleep (unless I ate an entire onion that day). Here's a list of places I've fallen asleep; the floor, the bathroom, the bathroom at work (not KTVB), the car, the closet, a restaurant, various parties, the couch, and occasionally the bed. But while I'm good at sleeping, I'm apparently amazing at snoring (or so my wife tells me). Katie says it's a race to get to sleep before me, or else, she's going to have some trouble getting her Z's. My sleeping ability is awesome, but it's dragging down my wife's sleep. I'm like the Terrell Owens of sleeping, a great player who only makes his team worse.
But, Oz had some tips to help my wife silence my nightly nasal thunder, a neti pot and nasal strips. I'll let you know how they work.
For a good night's sleep, he also recommended keeping your pets out of the bed. I don't know if a four or six-year-old boy counts, but they should. My youngest, while allegedly sleeping, can roundhouse kick me in the head hard enough to give me a concussion. While that might help me sleep, it wasn't recommended by Oz.
The good doctor also said doing bed yoga (a type of stretching) can help people fall asleep, along with various ways of relaxing and turning your brain off (no need to E-mail jokes about me never bothering to turn my brain on, unless they're funny). Finally, Oz said to keep a consistent bedtime (like after watching that award-winning News at Ten on Idaho's Newschannel Seven, where the news comes first). He says to try to get 4-5 sleep cycles (90 minutes apiece) every night, about 7-and-a-half hours of sleep. So, get some sleep! I'll check back in tomorrow.

It's not a pretty picture. It's a picture of a young quarterback, lying on his back.
"He took a beating when he was in junior high," said Larry Touart, Grass' junior-high football coach and varsity basketball coach at Ashville. "He was a skinny kid, and we didn't have a very good offensive line, and he got killed.
"But as he got older and got in high school, the quality of the players improved, and he was better. He was a pretty good quarterback in high school."
We're about to find out how the John Grass we know through his ups and downs as Oxford High's head coach and one, record-setting season as JSU's offensive coordinator and assistant head coach translates to the role of a Football Championship Subdivision head coach.
JSU announced Grass' promotion Tuesday and formally introduced him during Thursday's press conference in JSU Stadium's club level.
Indications are Grass has every chance to succeed.
He inherits a lot of returning players from the team he helped coach to an 11-4 season, JSU's best on the FCS level, and the school's first two playoff victories since moving up from Division II in 1992.
His players stood up and cheered when informed of Grass' promotion, according to JSU athletics director Warren Koegel, so the team believes in him.
"What I saw was a team that bought into everything the offensive coordinator was telling them," Koegel said. "… These kids really respect John Grass, and I respect John Grass."
Every fan base has people who wanted a different coach, but the sense is that more JSU fans than not see Grass as the natural continuation of Bill Clark, who left after one season to coach Football Bowl Subdivision member UAB.
They also see a natural continuation of the offense that set 49 school records in 2013, blowing past records for points and total yards.
There's a positive vibe, a sense that JSU got it right by announcing Grass' hiring five hours after announcing Clark's resignation. Turn the page.
It's different than when Grass started at Oxford. His predecessor there, Josh Niblett, had his following after leading the Yellow Jackets to an undefeated record on the field in 2007, though seven victories were vacated over an ineligible player.
When Niblett left to begin his wildly successful run at Hoover and Oxford hired Grass away from Spain Park, Grass met a few crossed arms. Though Niblett was 0-2 in the playoffs at Oxford, one of 6A's smaller schools in terms of enrollment, first-round playoff losses in 2008 and 2009 didn't help Grass' cause.
But Grass would lead Oxford to its deepest playoff run as a Class 6A school in 2011. He did it without his best player, future linebacker and future LSU signee Kwon Alexander, who suffered a season-ending knee injury halfway through the season.
The Yellow Jackets fell one victory short of the playoffs in 2012 despite having a future Alabama Mr. Football in running back Racean Thomas, but Grass had built a track record through 16 years as a head coach, seven over 6A programs. He was Alabama's 6A coach of the year in 2007, leading Spain Park to its only Super 6 the same year Niblett's last Oxford team went 10-0 on the field.
Grass had built a reputation as an offensive innovator. That's why Clark, a defensive coach who competed against Grass while Prattville's head coach, snatched him up as offensive coordinator and assistant head coach.
A year later, Grass has that background as a big-high school coach and one year of helping Clark run an FCS program.
"It's something I think we're kind of used to," Grass said. "You get in to bigger high schools, and it's almost like a college. You run it just like a college program."
Only on the college level, there's more help with the details.
"Everybody is focused on football," Grass said. "You work day in and day out, and you don't have another job you've got to go do. In high school, you've got those guys that have got to go teach class. There's a lot more time to get the job done."
Chief among those who think Grass can get the job done is Touart, who attended Thursday's news conference. Grass would later coach both of Touart's sons at Ashville.
"Great individual. Hard worker. Competitor," Larry Touart said. "And he tried to please, and that's what he's going to do with these kids."

Warning: Below is the plot and ending to The Green Mile
The Green Mile is a novel by Stephen King. A movie of the same name was also created. Below is the plot to The Green Mile. The plot concentrates on the book, with a section highlighting the differences between the movie and the novel.
The plot of The Green Mile
The main characters of The Green Mile are the inmates and wardens of the E Block of Cold Mountain Penitentiary. The novel is narrated by Paul Edgecomb, the captain of the guard. The corridors that lead from the cells to the execution room at a prison are called the "last mile". At Cold Mountain the floor is green, hence the name The Green Mile. The cellblock has an electric chair called "Old Sparkey". The story takes place in the 1930s. The book in 1932, but the movie later in 1935. The story also has a section where Paul is an old man in a nursing home.
The story is primarily around an inmate called John Coffey. He is a seven-foot black man who is convicted of raping and killing two small white girls. He is a very quiet man and afraid of the dark: this coupled with his enormous size makes him a very memorable man. John Coffey is not able to do such things as tie a knot, and is described as "knowing his own name and not much else." Despite this he is convicted of luring the girls away from the home and disposing of a watchdog. This would require careful planning and clear thinking, skills Coffey does not appear to have. Despite Coffey's massive size, he is the calmest inmate the wardens have ever seen.
During the primary period of the story there are two other inmates on the block on which the story concentrates. These are Eduard Delacroix, a french man convicted or arson, rape and murder. Delacrioix has a pet mouse called Mr. Jingles, who is able to perform tricks. The other inmate is William Wharton: a tough and boasting character, claiming to be a modern Billy the Kid.
After John Coffey arrives the warders realize that he has a special gift. The captain of the guard, Paul Edgecomb, has a urinary infection, which is causing him extreme discomfort. John Coffey realizes this, and when in distance of Paul, grabs him and heels him. Paul is naturally flabbergasted by this. John Coffey is set to be executed, and the guards realize they have to execute a man with a "gift from God."
A new warder called Percy Wetmore arrives at the prison. Percy is a vicious sadistic person, who is un liked by everyone on the block. He is however the nephew of the governors wife, which prevents the other warders from being able to keep him in line. John Coffey heels Mr. Jingles, after Percy Wetmore steps on the mouse. Percy does a deal. He wants to be "up front" (in charge) of the execution of Eduard Delacroix. For this he will get a transfer from the prison to a different government job, and the warders will not hear from him again. Percy deliberately breaks procedure during the execution of Eduard Delacroix, and causes Delacroix great suffering before he dies. This is witnessed my many people who have come to watch the execution.
John Coffey also has the ability to see people's thoughts or memories. William Wharton grabs Coffey's arm, and Coffey sees Wharton's memory of killing the two little girls that Coffey has been convicted of. Coffey transfers this image to Paul, the chief of the guard. By this Paul knows that Coffey is an innocent man. The warders now realizes that they has to execute an innocent man with a "gift from God."
Prior to this the story reveals that the warden's wife is dying of a brain tumor. Paul and his wife are good friends with the warden and his wife, and the news of the brain tumor, and the demise of the wardens wife is very upsetting for Paul. Paul invites the other warders to his home for lunch at the weekend. He explains that he wants to sneak John Coffey out of the prison to the wardens house. There John Coffey will heal the wardens wife. They will then return Coffey to the prison. The warders know they not only risk their jobs, but also time in prison if they get caught. They all agree however to go ahead with the plan. They take Coffey to the warders house, and the warders wife is healed.
When they return to the block John Coffey transfers the illness he extracted from the wardens wife into Percy. The warders do not know that he intends to do this, and perhaps Coffey had not planned it. He does this to punish Percy for his many evil actions. John Coffey is finally executed.
Paul and Mr. Jingles experience unnaturally long life. Paul is 104 years old, and in a nursing home, when he takes the dead body of Mr. Jingles to a shed. Mr. Jingles lived until he was 64. Paul wonders how much longer he will live. The book ends with this quote: "We each owe a death, there are no exceptions, I know that, but sometimes, oh God, the Green mile is so long."
Differences in the movie from the book
- The movie of The Green Mile is very loyal to the novel. Below are some of the notable differences:
- In the novel Paul Edgecomb is telling the story to his fellow nursing home friend Elaine. The novel covers some of Paul's relationship with Elaine. Paul starts his recollections of his time on the mile when he is reminded of Percy Wetmore by an employee at the nursing home, called Brad Dolan. In the movie Brad Dolan is left out completely. The nursing home scenes only occur at the beginning and at the end of the movie, rather than throughout the story as in the novel. Paul's memory is triggered by the movie Top Hat which is shown on the television. This movie is added to main story line, when John Coffey asks to see a "flicker show" as his last request.
- Hal Moores, the warden, has an assistant in the novel, called Curtis Anderson. In the movie Curtis Anderson does not appear, and his lines are given to Moores. Other inmates who did not have speaking parts are also omitted from the movie.
- The novel, which was released in six separate parts, is not in chronological order. The movie does show the story in chronological order.
- In the novel there is strong evidence to suggest John Coffey is innocent. This is interpreted by Paul Edgecomb the narrator. The confusion of the tracking dogs is a major part of this. In the movie this is transformed into the scene where John Coffey grabs Paul Edgecomb's hand and transfer the image from William Wharton, the real killer, to Paul.

Barber, the Mountaineers' Will linebacker, said WVU wasn't focused against the Orange in a 49-23 defeat last year, and collectively assumed they could simply show up and win. Syracuse, which finished just 5-7, played physically and showcased superior grit and desire in beating WVU for just the second time in the past 10 series meetings.
"It was effort and mentality," Barber said. "They wanted it more than we did. They came out fired up and we thought we could show up and beat them. The past two years, that hasn't been true. We have to want to play football, play hard and enjoy being with each other on the field. If we do that, we'll be all right."
Barber's insight has proven true time and again this season. West Virginia was incredibly dialed in for games against Baylor, Texas and Oklahoma , and it played well in most phases in winning two of the three. The 48-45 victory at then-No. 9 Texas was a season highlight, but the big-game hangover showcased a team-wide issue in that the Mountaineers figured other wins would come easily after beating a marquee program on the road at night in front of more than 100,000 fans.
Stedman Bailey said after the Texas game that the victory certainly propelled West Virginia into national title contention. Geno Smith was being awarded he Heisman Trophy by multiple media pundits. The Mountaineers were suddenly not a dark horse, but the shining star for the Big 12 in its quest for a national championship. Then the Mountaineers went on the road against Texas Tech and were lambasted. Mental approach issues were exposed in the light of the defeat. Even play-by-play announcer Tony Caridi said the team lost the game not on the field, but on the plane ride to Lubbock.
There was lack of focus. Lack of a proper mental approach and respect for the opponent. And that, more than anything, led to breakdowns in the passing game, on defense, in tackling, on special teams, in ball security, in coaching. In every area, West Virginia performed poorly in losses to Tech and Kansas State. The two blowouts served a two-fold purpose: They exposed flaws, physical and mental, and they took eased vast amounts of pressure and expectation that began to bury WVU.
That's not what one wants, obviously. The ideal is to have a team that handles each game effectively, one that has a healthy respect, but no fear, for all foes. West Virginia appears to be back to that style of play and game preparation for the Pinstripe Bowl. The offense has played well and is utilizing its top weapon, Tavon Austin, in every way imaginable. Any ideas of a blowout have been tempered by the loss of center Joe Madsen. The lack of a key cog along the line has made others up their game, and it has served as a bit of a unifying force.
The defense is bothered by predictions of a shootout. Said nose tackle Shaq Rowell: "Yeah, I have a problem with them saying that it's going to be a shootout, because they're really just saying the defense sucks." Point taken. The special teams has had enough to fix that it's been a constant issue. So there's really not even the consideration of overconfidence. If anything, a Syracuse team that has won five of six should be the one plying the holier-than-thou mindset.
"They do everything well," Barber said. "They are a solid football team all around. They have great running backs. The top ones, they run real hard. The quarterback is a big, tough kid with a big arm. And the two kids, #5 and #15, on the edge. They are a tough team." All the right thoughts there.
So it would seem, by all exterior clues, that the West Virginia team peaking in time for the Pinstripe is seeming more to resemble the one that delivered the Texas-sized blow, and not the one that got canvassed twice via knockout. The confidence, via two wins, has been restored – but not to the degree of a walk-in-and-win delusion. This team seems right-minded at the right time.
"We have a really close group of guys," Barber said. "It's something special. I've been around and talked to other kids at other colleges, and we are close. We have a really good, talented team. We want to send these seniors out on a good note."
Note: Barber said West Virginia has been increasingly alternating between a two- and three-deep look in the secondary under coordinator Keith Patterson. The Mountaineers are also expected to attempt tighter coverage on the corners and a few more varying front looks. But, Barber said, WVU must continue to do what has made it successful in recent games, and he didn't note a significant difference in other aspects of coaching between Patterson and Joe DeForest.
